AIX Family Definition
Chapter 1. Introduction
Background
AIX is an IBM-developed family of operating systems based on UNIX. The AIX Family
provides a compatible operating system environment across the IBM Personal System/2
80386, RT, 9370, 4381, and 3090 architectures. The family defines a variety of common,
reusable components to aid the developer in producing portable code and to aid in
communication between systems of different hardware architectures.
By pursuing a multiple-architecture strategy, IBM has been able to provide customers with
a wide choice of functions and hardware to meet their various requirements. Today,
IBM's systems span a nearly thousand-fold capacity range and support the information
processing needs of people in very different environments.
To enhance transition between these systems, to facilitate multi-system use, and to bring
the breadth of IBM's product line to bear on customer needs in all environments, IBM has
introduced the AIX Family Definition. The results of the AIX Family Definition include:
• Applications that can be ported with less effort, or that can span systems
• Programming skills that have broader applicability
• User access to these applications that is simpler and more uniform
• Consistent languages.
Several popular UNIX implementations have become standards in the UNIX marketplace.
These standards are integrated into the AIX offerings and complement the other AIX
Family offerings.
Content of the AIX Family Definition
IBM has selected several software interfaces, conventions, and protocols as part of the AIX
Family Definition. These offerings provide the framework for the AIX Family support and
give developers a consistent interface across various AIX hardware offerings. These
interfaces, conventions, and protocols are designed to provide an enhanced level of
consistency in the following areas:
Base System The system calls, library routines, and commands that
are the base of any UNIX system.
Programming Interface The languages and services that application developers
use in building their software.
User Access Interface The way the information is presented, and the way
users respond.
Communications Support The connectivity of systems and programs.
Distributed Processing Support The ability to use the resources of a remotely connected
system.
Applications The software that IBM and other vendors develop and
supply.
The AIX Family Definition combines the features of the major UNIX offerings available
today, enhanced in several areas by IBM. The features offered consist of those parts
defined by the Portable Operating System for Computer Environments (POSIX), plus UNIX
Introduction 1-1
System V Release 2, plus 4.3 Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Features from all
these sources have been merged to offer the best environment for the majority of users.
Advantages for Independent Users
These specifications are intended to assist two types of users: those who use IBM software
to build their own applications, and software companies who build applications to sell.
Using the functions and interfaces defined to be part of the AIX Family Definition will
ease the porting of UNIX applications across the AIX platforms.
Relationship to System Application Architecture
System Application Architecture (SAA) is a framework for developing consistent
applications that are portable across the future offerings of the IBM System/370,
System/3X, and Personal Computer. SAA facilitates the development of such applications
by providing a common collection of selected software interfaces, conventions, and
protocols that support the three elements of the architecture: Common User Access (CUA),
Common Programming Interface (CPI), and Common Communications Support (CCS).
The AIX Family Definition defines IBM's set of offerings that is implemented across
different IBM hardware architectures, but that uses the same operating system (AIX). AIX
is the IBM strategic software platform that addresses the fast growing, open-standard
UNIX market opportunity. With the AIX Family Definition, IBM is providing consistent
interfaces and protocols for the AIX environment.
Situations may exist where AIX systems and SAA systems need to be interconnected. It is
IBM's intent to specify appropriate interconnection protocols between AIX systems and
SAA systems.
Customers and software vendors may at times want to port applications between AIX and
SAA environments. The AIX Family Definition will provide C and VS/FORTRAN
interfaces that are compatible with the SAA definition for these languages.
As the AIX Family Definition and SAA evolve, IBM will expand the interconnect
capabilities and the common programming interfaces.
Common Base System
The AIX Base System defines operating system calls, library routines, commands, and
utilities. All these together provide compatibility with UNIX System V Release 2 and 4.3
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). AIX Systems Architecture allows for the addition of
future enhancements. IBM is actively participating in the development of the POSIX
standard. Any changes required to the family definition, due to such standards, will be
incorporated in the AIX offerings.
The Base System includes the 8-bit ASCII National Language Support.
Common Programming Interface
One of the important parts of the AIX Family Definition is a common programming
interface: the languages and services used by programmers. The components of the
interface fall into these three general categories:
• Programming Languages
- C
- VS/FORTRAN
1-2 AIX Family Definition
• Procedure Languages
- Bourne Shell
- C Shell
• Services
- Presentation Interface.
For each component of this programming interface, IBM is establishing a definition, or
specification. Some of the specifications will be standards produced by external bodies —
for example, the IEEE 1003 (POSIX) standard, or the ANSI X3J11 standard for the C
language. Others will be specifications generated internally by IBM to provide consistency
across its products.
Common User Interface
The Common User Interface defines the rules for the dialog between the human and the
computer. It establishes how information appears on a display screen, and how people
respond to that information. It includes definitions of interface elements, and rules for
interaction techniques. This interface includes panel appearance, choice selection, color
and emphasis, messages, help, and terminology.
An interface between user and computer has three main components:
• The way the machine communicates with the user
• The way the user communicates with the machine
• What the user understands about the interface.
The first aspect is what the user perceives: what faces the program and the hardware show
to the user at the work station, and how the instructions and data are presented. The user
has to recognize this information, understand it, and come up with an appropriate
response. This response, consisting of established actions such as key selection or
mouse movement, is the second aspect of the interface. The third aspect, how users
understand this entire process, is really part of the first two. As long as the interface
meets the user's expectations, it is easy to use; and as long as the interface is integrated
and has good overall design, it is easy to learn. Within AIX, user and machine
communicate through the shells.
Another part of the user interface for All Points Addressable (APA) displays is evolving
and will include objects representing user actions such as buttons and command bars.
Common Communications Support
Common Communications Support is used to connect applications, systems, networks, and
devices. This support will be achieved by the consistent implementation of designated
communication architecture in each of the AIX Family environments. These
communication architectures are the building blocks for distributed functions. In the AIX
products, the Common Communications Support allows the AIX based machines to
communicate with other IBM operating systems, while still allowing them to participate in
communications with other UNIX operating systems.
Included in the Common Communications Support at this time are data streams, session
services, network and data link controls. Each of these is described in the following
sections.
Introduction 1-3
Data
Streams
Data Streams refer to the data and control information that is transmitted over a data link
(and that is transmitted within AIX to communicate between routines). Only ASCII data
streams are part of the AIX Family Definition.
Data Link Controls
Token-Ring Network consists of a wiring system, a set of communication adapters
(stations), and an access protocol that controls the sharing of the physical medium by the
stations attached to the Local Area Network (LAN). The IBM Token-Ring Network
architecture is based on IEEE 802.2 and 802.5 standards (for more information, consult the
Token-Ring Network Architecture Reference).
Ethernet consists of a set of communications adapters, and an access protocol that
controls the sharing of the physical medium by the stations attached to the LAN. The IBM
Ethernet support is based on IEEE 802.3 standards.
X.25 defines a packet-mode interface for attaching data terminal equipment (DTE) such as
host computers, work stations, and terminal-to-packet switched data networks. The IBM
X.25 is based on the CCITT X.25 (1984) standards.
Communication Services
The following products are currently supported as AIX Family communications products:
• TCP/IP
• uucp.
Common Distributed Files Systems
The AIX Family Definition defines the protocols and interfaces that enable AIX systems to
share available resources and processing power with other AIX and non-AIX systems.
The current family definition includes the following products:
• Distributed Services
• Network File System (NFS).
Common Applications
AIX applications are available across the AIX platform. Applications range from simple
utilities to very specific multi-function applications.
IBM encourages independent software vendors to port existing UNIX applications or to
develop new AIX applications based on the AIX Family Definition.
1-4 AIX Family Definition
Chapter 2. Base System
Overview
The AIX Base System defines operating system calls, subroutines, commands, and utilities.
These provide compatibility with UNIX System V Release 2 and 4.3 Berkeley Software
Distribution (BSD), and include IBM enhancements.
System Calls and Subroutines
The AIX family supports a large number of system calls and subroutines, some of which
originated in UNIX System V Release 2, some in 4.3 Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)
versions of UNIX, and some of which were created especially for the AIX Operating
System.
When a system call or subroutine is defined in the POSIX specification, the AIX family
adheres to the POSIX specification unless otherwise noted in the extended description.
System calls provide controlled access to the operating system kernel. The programming
interface to the system calls is identical to that of subroutines. Thus, in a C program, a
system call is similar to a subroutine call. The difference between the two is that a system
call does a context switch so that the called routine has access to kernel information and
operates in kernel mode. When an error occurs, most system calls return a value of -1 and
set an external variable named errno to identify the error.
Subroutine Libraries
The AIX Family supports several subroutine libraries. These libraries are a collection of
commonly used functions and declarations. The following libraries belong to the AIX
Family Definition:
• Standard C Library (libc.a)
• Standard I/O Package (libc.a)
• Math Library (libm.a)
• Curses Library (libcurses.a).
More libraries are available in the AIX systems to perform specific functions, though they
are not currently contained in the AIX Family Definition.
A list of the system calls and library subroutines that are part of the AIX Family
Definition can be found in the Appendix.
Base System 2-1
User and Administrator Commands and Utilities
The AIX systems contain a large number of commands and utilities: some acquired from
the UNIX System V and BSD bases, and many added by IBM.
Refer to the Appendix for a list of the AIX Family commands.
2-2 AIX Family Definition
Chapter 3. Programming Interface
Overview
Several programming languages are available under AIX. C and VS/FORTRAN have been
chosen to be part of the AIX Family Definition, as they are two of the most heavily used
languages in the AIX environment. The following pages provide a description of the
features of each language, and a high-level list of the language elements that make up the
Programming Interface.
C
C is a programming language designed for a wide variety of programming tasks. It has
been used for system-level code, text processing, graphics, and for development of
engineering, scientific, and commercial applications.
The C language itself is compact, with function added through its library. This division
makes C both flexible and efficient. Another advantage of C is its consistency across
different hardware architectures.
The flexibility of C enables its users to deal easily with machine-level entities at a low
level, while at the same time having the high-level control and data structures found in
other modern, structured programming languages.
Included is an extensive library of functions to provide input and output, mathematics,
exception handling, string and character manipulation, dynamic memory management, and
date and time manipulation. Use of this library helps to maintain program portability,
because the underlying implementation details for the various operations need not be of
concern to the programmer.
C supports numerous data types, including characters, integers, floating-point numbers
and pointers — each in a variety of forms. In addition, C also supports data aggregates
such as arrays, structures (records), unions, and enumerations.
The interface specifications have been developed according to the draft of the American
National Standard Programming Language - C (X3J11). Figure 3-1 on page 3-2 lists the
language elements currently defined in the C interface for the AIX Family Definition, and
shows which AIX product implements each interface element.

VS/FORTRAN
VS/FORTRAN is a programming language designed for mathematical computations and
other manipulation of numeric data, which makes it especially well-suited to scientific and
engineering applications.
Because it is simple and easy to learn, and because it produces efficient code,
VS/FORTRAN is widely used. It is a convenient and familiar tool for anyone involved in
mathematical computation.
The original VS/FORTRAN was developed by IBM. Over the years, IBM has continued
to enhance the language and to offer on all its systems more powerful and sophisticated
VS/FORTRAN products with a variety of features.
The interface specification for VS/FORTRAN provides a language that has the familiar
simplicity of its predecessors, along with new features. In general, the language elements
fall into the following two categories:
• American National Standard Programming Language — VS/FORTRAN, ANSI
X3.9-1978 (FORTRAN 77), ISO standard, 1539-1980
• Enhancements to this standard — such as the ability to use names that are up to 31
characters long.
Because the AIX specification is based on the ANSI standard, users benefit from:
• Familiarity with the programming terms and functions
• Ability to use existing programs currently running on other IBM systems (many of
which are based on the ANSI 77 standard)
• Ability to convert standard-conforming programs from non-IBM systems to run on the
supported IBM architectures.
Programming Interface 3-5
For enhanced programming productivity and ease of use, IBM's specifications contain
language features beyond the industry standards.
The following Figure indicates which VS/FORTRAN language elements are part of the AIX
Family Definition.

AIX Family Definition
Chapter 4. User Interface
Overview
The AIX Family Definition's user interface consists of two procedure languages, which
execute commands, and a presentation interface, which gives users a set of functions to
display information. This chapter describes these two forms of communication between the
user and the computer.
Procedure Languages
The AIX Family Definition defines two procedure languages:
• Bourne Shell
• C Shell.
The shell language is a system command interpreter and programming language. It is a
user program that reads commands typed at the keyboard and arranges for their execution.
In addition, it can read commands that you have saved in a file. Such a file is usually
called a shell procedure or a command file.
A simple command is a sequence of words separated by blanks or tabs. A word is a
sequence of alphanumeric characters that contains no non-quoted blanks. The first word
in the sequence usually specifies the name of the command; any remaining words are then
passed to the named command.
A pipeline is a sequence of one or more commands separated by a | (vertical bar) or by a *
(circumflex). In a pipeline, the standard output of each command becomes the standard
input for the next command. Each command runs as a separate process.
A filter is a command that reads its standard input, transforms it in some way, then writes
it to its standard output. A pipeline normally consists of a series of filters.
A list is a sequence of one or more pipelines.
Each time the shell executes a command, it carries out substitutions. If the command
name matches one of the built-in commands, it executes it in the shell process. If the
command name does not match a built-in command but matches the name of a defined
function, it executes the function in the shell process. If neither of these cases are true, but
the command name matches that of an executable file that is a compiled binary program,
the shell (as parent) spawns a new (child) process that immediately runs the program. If the
file is executable, but not a compiled program, the shell spawns another instance of itself
(a subshell) to read the file and execute the commands included in it.
Bourne Shell
The Bourne Shell is the default shell shipped with the AIX systems. It is based on the shell
offered with UNIX System V Release 2. A full description of the shell functions can be
found in the Commands Reference manual of each product.
Figure 4-1 on page 4-2 indicates which functions of the Bourne Shell are part of the AIX
Family Definition.

the Bourne Shell, such as:
• Job control
• History
• Arithmetic functions
• Command name aliasing.
On the other hand, the Bourne Shell is superior as a programming language.

Presentation Interface
Presentation services provide users with a comprehensive set of functions that allow
information to be displayed or printed in the most effective manner.
The presentation interface defined for the AIX Family Definition is the X- Windows
program, Version 11.
Overview of X- Windows
X- Windows is a tool designed to help enhance the usability of the overall application
processing environment. This is done by providing facilities that help you work with
existing application programs and help you design and implement new applications.
X- Windows permits multiple application processes to operate within multiple windows
displayed on a virtual terminal. You can manage windows directly or with application
programs. You can hide windows completely or partially. You can update partially hidden
windows as well as windows that are completely hidden.
Each window can have a specific character set (font) associated with it. In addition, each
window can have its own keyboard mapping. This capability permits character sets
available on the system to be connected to a specific window.
X- Windows provides the capability to manage both local and remote displays. Remote
display management can be accomplished with other systems connected through TCP/IP.
The X- Windows Interface Elements
The X- Windows interface includes keyboard mapping, X- Windows commands, and
supported C language subroutines.

Chapter 5. Communications Support
Overview
The AIX Family-defined communications support specifies the protocols that interconnect
systems. The protocols selected have been chosen from UNIX and industry standards.
For interconnecting AIX systems, any of the following supported protocols and physical
connections can be chosen. In addition to the services defined for each AIX environment,
other communications services, provided in certain environments, expand the
communications capabilities available to AIX users.
As IBM extends the AIX Family Definition, communications architectures from UNIX,
popular industry standards, and IBM's SAA will be evaluated for inclusion in the AIX
communications support.
Communications Services
TCP/IP protocols have been chosen for connecting AIX and non-IBM systems. TCP/IP
networks are defined for Ethernet and Token-Ring Network, with routing between multiple
networks.
The following DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) standard interfaces
have been chosen as part of the AIX Family Definition:
TCP Transmission Control Protocol
UDP User Datagram Protocol
IP Internet Protocol
DOMAIN Domain Name Server Protocol
SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
FTP File Transfer Protocol
Telnet Remote Login Protocol
BSD Sockets provide the network transparent interface for TCP/IP protocols.
The UNIX to UNIX copy protocol (uucp) is included for asynchronous link connections
between AIX and other UNIX systems. ANSI 3.64 protocol supports the connection of
asynchronous ASCII terminals. A number of asynchronous link connections (RS232, RS422)
are included.
Communicating Application Support
The X- Windows (Version 11) protocol is supported over TCP/IP networks for transparent
distribution of presentation graphics. This capability allows an application to run on one
system and to present text and graphics on the display of another system in the network.
BSD SENDMAIL is included as a general network mail router to communicate between
local and remote systems, and among multiple remote protocols. A command-level interface
provides transparency for mail applications from the underlying mail-handling protocols.
Communications Support 5-1
AIX Family Definition
Chapter 6. Distributed Processing Interface
Overview
The AIX Family Definition defines the protocols and interfaces that enable AIX systems to
share available resources and processing power with other AIX systems or with other
UNIX systems.
The goal of Distributed Processing is to provide a high degree of transparent resource
sharing facility. Transparent file sharing is a common capability, with variations in the
granularity, performance, administration, security, locking, and integrity of the shared
systems. Additional functions include the transparent sharing of other devices, such as
printers. The programming interfaces for distributed devices are the same as for local
system devices.
Another common capability is the ability to support Distributed Processing applications.
The interface function for local/remote process transparency varies depending on the
Distributed Processing facility selected.
The definitions included in the AIX Family Definition are:
• Distributed Services (DS): DS/IP protocol has been defined for Distributed Processing
among a small to large number of AIX systems. DS provides a stateful architecture for
transparent file sharing, file-level remote mounts, inherited mounts, cross-system file
locking, and for local/remote process transparency of Inter-Process Communications
(IPC) message queues.
DS also provides facilities for flexible network configurations for both resource sharing
and administration. This includes user and node authentication, network
administration facilities, and program/code server management techniques.
• Network File System (NFS) Version 3.2 of Sun Microsystems protocol is included for
Distributed Processing among AIX and non-IBM UNIX systems. NFS is a stateless
architecture for transparent file sharing, directory-level remote mount, yellow pages
directory lookup, and the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interface for remote
processing.
Distributed Services
Distributed Services (DS) provides distributed operating system capabilities for the AIX
operating systems. These include distributed files with local/remote transparency, a form of
single-system image and distributed process communication. The distributed file design
supports traditional AIX and UNIX file systems. This support allows applications,
including data management/database applications, to be used in the distributed
environment without modification to existing object code.
The key achievements of DS are:
• Local/remote transparency of the services which are distributed, including no
noticeable performance degradation in the remote case, and no alteration of the basic
AIX and UNIX semantics.
• User isolation from network media and transport mechanisms.
• Administrative control. This control includes the ability to administer a set of
interconnected machines as a single domain, or to independently administer machines
such as servers or private machines.
Distributed Processing Interface 6-1
Distributed Data
Distributed Services uses remote mounts to allow users to mount file systems on a different
machine than the directory off which the file system is mounted. Once the remote mount is
established, the files contained in the file system appear in the same directory hierarchy
across the distributed configuration, and file system calls generally work identically
regardless of whether the file is local or remote to the user.
Distributed Processing
Distributed Services provides distributed processing support through AIX message queues.
Network File System
The Network File System (NFS) is a facility for sharing files in a heterogeneous
environment of machines, operating systems, and networks. Sharing is accomplished by
mounting a remote file system, then reading or writing files in place.
NFS is designed as a distributed file system that permits client systems to access shared
files on a remote system. Client machines request resources provided by other machines,
called servers. A server machine makes particular file systems available, which client
machines can mount as local file systems. Thus, users can access remote files as if they
were on the local machine.
Yellow Pages Service
The Yellow Pages (YP) is a network service to ease the job of administrating networked
machines. The YP is a centralized read-only database. For a client on NFS, this means that
an application's access to data served by the YP is independent of the relative locations of
the client and the server. The YP database on the server provides password, group,
network, and host information to client machines.
RPC/XDR Services
The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) facility provides a mechanism whereby one process (the
client process) can have another process (the server process) execute a procedure call, as
if the client process had executed the procedure call in its own address space. Because the
client and the server are now two separate processes, they no longer have to live on the
same physical machine.
The External Data Representation (XDR) is a network standard to which RPC protocols
are converted before being sent over the wire.
RPC Library Routines
RPC library routines allow C programs to make procedure calls on other machines across
the network. To do this, the client must first call a procedure to send a data packet to the
server. Upon receipt of the packet, the server calls a dispatch routine to perform the
requested service, and then sends a reply. Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.
The Network File System RPC library routines will be defined in the Network File System
reference manual.
6-2 AIX Family Definition
XDR Library Routines
These routines allow C programmers to describe arbitrary data structures in a
machine-independent fashion. Data for remote procedure calls are transmitted using these
routines.
The Network File System XDR library routines will be defined in the Network File System
reference manual.
LIBRPCSVC
This library contains the RPC service library routines. This set of routines is used by
several of the RPC-based commands and util ities. They are also available to a C
programmer as library routines. To use the RPC service library routines, link with
librpcsvc.a.
The Network File System RPCSVC library routines will be defined in the Network File
System reference manual.
Distributed Processing Interface 6-3
AIX Family Definition
Appendix. Comparison of AIX Platforms
Overview
This appendix contains a general summary of functions across the IBM AIX family of
products. It compares AIX interfaces with the proposed IEEE POSIX specifications, with
UNIX System V, and 4.3 Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).
Included in each matrix is a column showing which functions are defined as part of the
AIX Family Definition. Interfaces within AIX Family Definition are available on one or
more of the AIX products in the current releases, and will be available across the AIX
family of products.
Also included are columns showing where the function is defined as part of the POSIX
standard, or part of the AT&T System V Interface Definition (SVID) or BSD systems.
An indication that a function is supported does not guarantee that it is exactly equivalent
with the POSIX, SVID, or 4.3 BSD implementation. The AIX compatibility priority is as
follows: POSIX first, then SVID and 4.3 BSD. In many cases, AIX interfaces are provided to
offer compatibility with more than one of the other UNIX systems, even if those systems
are not compatible with one another. Functions defined as AIX Family will be compatible
across AIX products. The full specification of AIX interfaces will be available in the AIX
product publications, and in general it will be functionally equivalent across all family
platforms.
System Calls and Library Routines
This section of the appendix deals with System Calls and Library Routines. The
information presented in Figure A-2 on page A-3 groups all the functions found in all of
the systems chosen for this comparison.
Information for the AIX columns of Figure A-2 on page A-3 has been extracted from
Version 1.1.0 of AIX PS/2, Version 2.2.1 of AIX/RT, and Version 1.1.0 of AIX/370.
Information for the SVID column of Figure A-2 on page A-3 was obtained from the AT&T
System V Interface Definition, Volumes 1, 2, and 3.
Information for the BSD column was taken from Berkeley Software Distribution manuals
for Version 4.3.
Data for the POSIX column came from draft 12 of P1003.1 for System Calls and Library
Routines. POSIX is continuing to define standards in several areas; as these standards are
adopted, the matrix will be updated to show the new status.
Where both POSIX and another system are indicated, AIX intends to comply with the
POSIX definition.
